- A few Latin jokes for those with a classical education;
-
- A man walks into a restaurant and sits down for his meal. The waiter comes and
- takes his food order. The waiter then says, "Would you like to order some wine
- with your meal?" "Yes please", says the man. "Mmmmm, some Hock I think. Hic,
- haec, hoc". After some time the man complains that he has not received his
- wine. The waiter replies, "Yes sir, you did order some wine but then you
- declined it!"
-
- A man walks into a bar. He says to the barman, "Could I have a martinis
- please". The barman replies, "Surely you mean a martini Sir". The man replies,
- "If I had wanted a double I would have asked for it!"
-
- If the eighth daughter in a family is called Octavia, what is the fourth
- called?
-
- Answer: Ivy.
-
- Apologies for the last one.
-
- Regards,
- Malc.
